This is a research study to find out if a study drug called EDIT-301 is safe and effective in treatment of patients with severe Sickle Cell Disease (SCD). The EDIT-301 study medicine is a new investigational therapy, which in this case means this is first-in-human use of this study drug. This study medication uses patients' own stem cells, modifies the cells with genetic modification, and transplants them back to the patient (by infusion) to treat SCD.
Participation in this study is expected to last approximately 30 months, including time for screening, collection of cells, transplant, and a 24 month follow-up period after transplant. At the end of that 24 month follow-up, the participant will be asked to participate in an additional long-term follow-up study, totaling 15 years of post-transplant follow-up.
The study is designed to look at the usefulness and safety of AXS-12 or placebo for the treatment of Narcolepsy. The open-label treatment period is 24 weeks, which will be followed by a double-blind treatment period of 4 weeks, for a total of up to 28 weeks with 13 visits. Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder characterized by overwhelming daytime drowsiness and sudden attacks of sleep. Study staff nor the participants will know if they are receiving a study drug or placebo. Participants will be male or female subjects 15-75 years old with a diagnosis of narcolepsy. Study drug will be administered as a pill.
The purpose of this study is to test whether a drug called PRA023/MK7240 (the study drug) is a good treatment for patients with Systemic Sclerosis associated with Interstitial Lung Disease (SSc-ILD). The study drug PRA023/7240 is an investigational drug that is given by infusion every 4 weeks. An investigational drug is not approved by The US Food and Drug Administration. It can only be used in a research study like this one. In this study, PRA023/MK7240 will be compared with a placebo (dummy drug). The placebo will be a saline solution that does not have any study drug in it. The comparison with the placebo helps to determine whether the effects seen in your body is because of the PRA023/MK7240 or not. This is a randomized study meaning that you will be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to receive either the study drug or placebo. This will be done with the help of a computer-based program and you will have 50% chance of receiving either the study drug or placebo. The study is double-blinded study and 50 weeks long, meaning you and your study doctor will not know what you are receiving, the study drug or placebo.
The study is sponsored by Prometheus Biosciences, Inc., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. The study is being done at approximately 25 sites across the United States. The main portion of the study will require 15 visits to the MUSC main campus and will have the following procedures completed over the course of your participation: blood draw, physician-led assessments of your disease (for example physical exam and skin thickness testing), tests to assess your pulmonary function and health (Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) and High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT)), electrocardiogram, as well as asked to complete surveys. If you complete the initial blinded treatment period of 50 weeks, the study doctor will discuss whether you are eligible to enter the open label period of the study, meaning no placebo. If you are eligible and agree, you will receive 500 mg of study drug once every 4 weeks for an additional 52 weeks. Compensation is available for participation.
The purpose of this study is to find out how long ustekinumab stays in and acts in participant's who are diagnosed with pediatric psoriasis and juvenile psoriatic arthritis. This is measured by blood tests. Another purpose is to find out if ustekinumab can cause side effects, which are unexpected or unwanted reactions from taking a drug. About 75 children will take part in this study worldwide. Participants will be in the study for a maximum of about 16 weeks.
This study is for Cisgender Men (CGM), Transgender Women (TGW), Transgender Men (TGM) & Gender Non-binary people (GNB) who have sex with male partners and who are at risk for HIV infection.
The study will test the experimental drug Lenacapavir (LEN) for the prevention of HIV infection, also known as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). This study will also compare the effectiveness of LEN to Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (F/TDF; Truvada®), which has already been approved in several countries for use as PrEP.
This is a prospective, observational research study for patients with IBD under the care of a gastroenterologist provider. The objective of the Corrona Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) Registry is to create a national cohort of patients with IBD.The diseases under study include Crohn's Disease (CD), Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Indeterminate Colitis (IC). Data collected will be used to better characterize the natural history of the disease and to extensively evaluate the effectiveness and safety of medications approved for the treatment of IBD .Approximately 10,000 patients and 150 clinical sites in North America will be recruited to participate with no defined upper limit for either target. The Corrona IBD Registry is a long-term observational study; therefore, the duration of the registry has no pre-determined stop date.

The purpose of this study is to obtain long-term diabetes control information after patients' participation in the MSC in T1D trial. Specifically, the goal of this study is to determine if patients receiving an MSC infusion in addition to the standard of care for diabetes have a long-term beneficial effect in slowing disease progression than patients receiving placebo infusion.
This Phase 3 study is conducted to evaluate lanifibranor in adults with NASH and liver fibrosis stage 2 or 3 and consists of 2 parts - Part 1 and Part 2.
This study is for patients with invasive cancer I-IV and be scheduled to receive anti-PD-1/-L1 ICI-containing therapy. This study is being done to see if we can understand which patients will develop side effects from immune checkpoint inhibitors, and what kind of side effects they will get and can we predict long-term treatment outcomes after immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment, like which patients will have a cancer that shrinks or disappears.
